Uber's self-driving car ambitions have been an open secret surrounding the company for some time now. If the ride share company's ambitions are met, someday when you hail a ride using its app it'll be an autonomous car that shows instead of a human looking to supplement his income.

One limitation to wearable technology is the need for electronics and wiring that make so-called “smart” clothing not so comfortable to wear.

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have found a way to make clothes smarter without on-board electronics using a new type of data-storing fabric that leverages technology already found in smartphones.

With the iPhone X Apple has gone for more than fancy Roman numeration in the name. The new flagship smartphone is the first to feature an exterior that has no buttons or framing. This phone's front is all-screen, specifically a 5.8 inch OLED multitouch Super Retina HD display with 2436 × 1125-pixel resolution (458 ppi). The iPhone X also features dual 12-megapixel cameras, a 7-megapixel TrueDepth camera for video and the phone's new facial recognition unlock feature (Face ID), and support for Qi wireless charging.
